FOR SALE: Spanish Model 1916 Mauser – .308 Winchester
Up for sale is a classic Model 1916 Spanish Mauser, rechambered in .308 Win (7.62 NATO). These rifles were originally issued to Spanish troops and later converted by Santa Bárbara Armas for export and civilian use. This particular example is clean, functional, and retains its original military styling with a blued finish and wood stock.
Features: Caliber: .308 Winchester / 7.62 NATO. Barrel: 21.25" military profile. Action: Bolt-action, cock-on-close. Stock: Hardwood, military-style. Sights: Military ladder-style rear sight. Condition: Good surplus condition with clean bore and crisp rifling. Ammo: Handles both factory .308 Win and military surplus 7.62 NATO. Magazine: Internal 5-round, non-detachable. Includes 7 stripper clips that hold 5 rounds each.
Notes:
This rifle is an arsenal-converted version of the 1893 Mauser action, modified to handle .308. While not designed for hot NATO loads or high-pressure handloads, it’s proven accurate with standard factory ammo—often printing 2” groups at 100 yards. It's a solid choice for a mil-surp collector, historic shooter, or anyone wanting an affordable .308 bolt-action with military roots.
Asking Price: $350 OBO
